CPU Market Space and Deployment Pace
BenBajarin · x · 2026-07-11
This post primarily estimates the CPU market space and the pace of infrastructure deployment:
- Vera CPUs are expected to be priced in the high single-digit thousands of dollars range.
- The author estimates the CPU TAM to be well over $200 billion by 2030.
- It also advises continuously tracking the GW (gigawatts) metric, as annual infrastructure installation capacity depends on newly built and replacement deployment capabilities.
Overall, it analyzes the expansion room for AI infrastructure from the perspective of compute power and electricity deployment.
